P O W E R O F ATTORNEY FOR FREIGHT F O R W A R D E R

(18) The University Purchasing offices have regular need for services of a freight forwarder (broker) to handle import and export shipments through United States Customs areas. On May 18, 1966, Item 23, the Board of Trustees approved the appointment and gave the power of attorney for freight forwarder services to the Judson Sheldon International Corporation of Chicago, Illinois. The University has been using these services successfully as needed. However, the Judson Sheldon Corporation has been merged with other groups. Therefore, the power of attorney for freight forwarder services to the Judson Sheldon International Corporation must be cancelled and assigned to the new corporation. The Directors of Purchases and the Vice President and Comptroller recommend authorization of a power of attorney, in a form approved by the University Counsel, to P I E Transport, Inc., which has acquired the International Freight Forwarder customs and brokerage operations from our former forwarder, to represent the University in processing standard import or export forms through United States customs. I concur and recommend adoption of the following resolution: Resolution "Be It and It Is Hereby Resolved by T h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, a public corporation of the State of Illinois, that the Comptroller of the said Board of Trustees and the Secretary of the said Board of Trustees, be and they hereby are, authorized to execute, certify, affix the seal of this corporation, and deliver to United States Treasury Department Bureau of Customs, Customs Form 5293 (February, 1967), a Corporation Power of Attorney to be filed with the Collector of Customs, authorizing P I E Transport, Inc., a licensed custom house broker, to act for the University of Illinois by said power of attorney, to do all acts provided in said Customs Form 5293, a copy of which is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. "Be it further resolved that the Power of Attorney with Judson Sheldon International Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, authorized May 18, 1966, by the Board of Trustees, be revoked."
